the big green box tells me that there have been 3031 new members in the past 24 hours. that wasn't my question

there were a few members carrying on about how horrible the new format is; sadly, most are still here.

i already know of about 20 who will not be renewing their subscriptions when they run out, so you might get your way eventually

Nah, they're dumbos.

They don't know chess.com has got all the features it had back in the old version and is fixing all the bugs.

when? it's been a month and a half so far.

I dont know about old / new format but I am a recent re-convert back into the chess world. I stopped playing after highschool and was just recently reminded how much I love the game.

As for the site, I came from checccube... wont be heading back anytime soon. It's "slick", for sure, but I like it here better for the more 'advanced' options. Chess mentor, tournaments, correspondance chess ('online') and the videos aren't "rented". Granted you need to be diamond to get them which I wasn't "thrilled' with but I sucked it up and frankly dont regret it.

OMG, really?

You missed a lot of things then. :/

lol, what about yours? can't get away with telling jokes about mantlepieces, surely?

Some kids are extraordinary.. they play the TRADITIONAL kind of Chess.

Well, some adults are, unfortunately, too stupidly imaginative.

nice one chris, a star wars panda!

is that green thing it sits on some kinda flying transport?

There's still a laundry lists of bugs, incompatibilities with browsers old and new, and stuff that's simply gone. (latest item: average time per move. Used to be included in stats, no-where to be seen now).

And the question is not how many people have joined or left, but how many more would have joined or wouldn't have left if the change hadn't been made. Under the old format the site was growing handsomely as well. Yet now I can imagine that anyone who doesn't use Erik's favorite browser will give a pass on it.

Last but not least: if you want to build a solid customerbase, be careful with your existing longtime customers. There are enough of them who are still galled by the continuing presence of bugs and oversights.
